Trump and Netanyahu at Odds Over Iran as Tensions Escalate

The war with Iran may have once brought the United States and Israel together, but now there is a rift between the top leaders of the two countries on this issue. US President Donald Trump is once again in favor of talks with Iran, while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is adamant on changing the regime in Tehran and taking fresh military action. According to a report by the Israeli media outlet Ynet, President Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu also had a heated argument over the phone last week. The report claims that the two leaders had a heated exchange. However, Netanyahu's office called this news as fake news. A senior Israeli official also denied any debate in the talks. According to the Financial Times report, Netanyahu is currently calling Trump daily to resume attacks on Iran, while Washington officials and regional leaders do not see Trump trying to prevent a major escalation of tensions on November 8.
